Thanks guys... just what I needed to know. One other question (it should probably be in a new thread but I'm hoping it's a quick answer): I've got that nifty little gkrellm thing going on my desktop now and my cpu (athlon 1400) usage is completely pegged while emerging. Is this normal? I suppose I wouldn't want it to not use 100% but take longer...

1.Doing an 'Emerge sync' once a day should be enough.
2.I usually update portage when ever there is a new version.
3.Yes the config files do get updated when you do etc-update.
4. No, you do not need to do an emerge sync after updating portage.
5.I usually do an 'emerge world' when I do 'emerge sync'.
6.It doesn't make much difference if you wait for big updates or not. Updating weekly would be good.
7.Wwather you break things or not depends on if you have 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86' set or not. But usually it's safe to do 'emerge world -u.

How often should I emerge sync? How often should I update portage? I just did emerge sync and it tells me I should update portage -- from r19 to r20 -- and "update ALL of [my] configuration files". Should I emerge portage everytime there's a new version? Are these config files of which it speaks updated when I do etc-update? Do I need to emerge sync again after updating portage? How often should I emerge - u world or emerge -u system? Is it best to wait on these big updates until there are crucial changes... or maybe it'll be faster if I do it weekly? Can I look forward to things breaking when I emerge -u world or system?
Thanks,
